Has anyone forgone sentinel node biopsies?

That was part of my decision to go for SMALL ( UK) trial -as tumour was small (7mm) and ultrasound showed clear axilla. Tumour was removed by vacuum extraction with local anaesthesia - essentially a kind of ‘super biopsy’.

maybe I wouldn't have qualified, as my tumour was not that small, was close to 2cm

Did you have a DCIS in situ carcinoma? That's what I have & I'm scheduled for a mastectomy, which I think is overkill.
